I am constantly blown away with all that Mother Nature offers but during my road trip around New Zealand over the last few days, my mind is absolutely overwhelmed with these insane views - it really has been like exploring another planet! I can’t think of a better place to practice gratitude and mindfulness - it feels so easy to practice here 💕

The greenhouse gases we've been pumping into the atmosphere are already changing Earth's weather, ecosystems and even its tilt. Here's how:
IT may not be immediately obvious, but the world outside your window is already a changed one. Since the industrial revolution, global temperatures have risen by about 1°C, which has had an impact at even the largest scales. For example, melting glaciers in Greenland are shifting the distribution of water on Earth, and nudging the planet’s axis. As a result, the position of the North Pole has moved eastwards by more than 1 metre since 2005. An upshot of this is that Earth will spin faster and, by 2200, days could be 0.12 milliseconds shorter.
Earth’s tilt is unlikely to affect your life or even that of your children, but other changes are happening closer to home. In the UK, for instance, spring is beginning about two weeks earlier on average than it did half a century ago, and autumn a week later. In the seas, many animals have shifted their range hundreds of kilometres polewards. On land, we are seeing similar shifts, but it can be much harder for terrestrial wildlife to move, not least because of roads and cities.
Climate change is a big issue and I feel as equally guilty to be a part of an industry which is adding more to the carbon emissions table. Being part of the problem has enlightened me to begin a part of the solution.

Did you know that 90% of Icelandic households are heated with geothermal water, as well as most of our 170+ outdoor public swimming pools? We sure love hot our water :) @visitreykjanes is one of the most active geothermal areas in Iceland with Gunnuhver (pictured) only 10 min drive from GeoCamp. Great field trip to an awesome location where you can learn more about renewable energy use in Iceland.

I think that the beauty of some photographs is in the truth and authenticity to which they show. Beautiful mountain ranges obscured by an ugly modern fossil fuel dependency. Fracking is a process where water is injected into the ground at a high enough pressure where the earth beneath cracks, enabling oil or natural gas to flow more openly. We use this fuel to power our cars, homes, and essentially our world. Meanwhile, groundwater contamination, increased seismic activity, inefficient water use, and air pollution are all consistent results from this highly deregulated practice here in the United States (and is only one of many oil extraction processes). Regardless, I believe that while taking from the Earth resources that cannot nearly self-replenish as quickly as we use them may be profitable in the moment, I also believe that the true strength and profitability of a progressive economy should be measured through reliance upon environmentally sustainable usage of resources coupled with productive and creative human ingenuities. In turn, I am also excited by the growth in renewable energy industries as population and energy demand continue to rise! (Wyoming, 2017). #solar#wind#geothermal#biofuel#hydropower
